Justice Suleiman Dikko, the chief judge of
Nasarawa state, granted pardon to 18 inmates of federal prisons in
Lafia, Keffi, and Nasarawa, who have been awaiting trial in the state.
At the end of his four-day tour of prison formations across the state, the chief judge made this statement to newsmen on Saturday, December 5, at the Keffi prisons, Keffi local government area.
Five of the inmates were from the Lafia Prison: Bulus Irimiya, Dauda Emmanuel, Mohammed Isa, Likita Emmanuel, and Beegah Luhu. Twelve were from the Keffi Prison: Abibakar Mohammed, Abubakar Ibrahim, Auwal Abdullahi, Abdurahamar Idris, Felix Michael, Danladi Joseph, Peter Ogun, Isha’u Barau, Isreal Stephen, Amos Isaac, Hassan Yakubu, and Aliyu Musa.
The remaining one was from the Nasarawa Prison – Emmanuel Nyitse.
Dikko stated that the routine prison visit is aimed at decongesting the prisons in the state and ensuring the delivery of justice to wrongly detained inmates.
He also assigned counsels to the inmates awaiting trial and those who had been remanded in custody for many years but lacked the money to engage the services of counsels.
He advised the pardoned inmates not to engage in acts that could make them return to prison. Details on
